TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
The anti-skid regulation optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the
wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme
acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to keep
the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver.
Activation
These systems are activated auto-
matically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem. T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g
of this warning light on the
instrument panel. Disarming
I n e x c e p t i o n a l c o n d i t i o n s ( s t a r t i n g a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may
be advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" button, lo-
cated in the centre of the fascia. Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel
and the indicator light on the
button comes on, this indi-
cates that the ASR and ESP
systems are disarmed. Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
T h e E S P / A S R s y s t e m s o f f e r e x -
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
d r i v e r t o t a k e e x t r a r i s k s o r d r i v e a t
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

unnecessarily, as you may
release the parking brake. Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise
maxi-
mum application of the parking
brake. It is obtained by means of
a long pull on control A , until you
see the message "parking brake ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on
a ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient,
turn the front wheels towards the
pavement and engage a gear
when you park,
- after a maximum application, the release time will be longer. Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting
the engine), the parking brake can
automatically alter its force. This is
normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake
by pulling then releasing
control A .

Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control A will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release"
actions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or
automatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control commands are
located on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Displays on the instrument
panel
Activation You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.
Or by pressing button 3 .
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
On selection of the
function via control
1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised .
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached via action on the accelera-
tor, press button 2 or button 4 . The
cruise speed is then memorised. It
is displayed in zone A of the instru-
ment panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These manoeuvres do
not cancel the cruise
speed which remains
displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of
the observance of speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.
